We are evacuating new orleans.
We’re not sure when we will be back.
If the server goes down, it’s cause it is not in a datacenter with special power.
See you in a couple days! (Hopefully)

Gadget is a big fat ham.
Also, People have told me that I should get something called the FURminator
I’m thinking that if I get one of these, it will really just pull all the extra dog hair out, and make it so that they don’t shed as much — IMO, they’ll be cooler outside, too, because at 105 heat index, the pugs can use all the ‘cooling down’ they can get.
Any comments on the furminator and pugs?

So Tricia had me bring the boys to her parents house to, “Go to a show.” I think I should have been suspicious when Tricia wasn’t sad that they were going away.
So, it was all a ruse to get the dogs out of the house (besides the ruse to get me out of the house) to throw me a surprise birthday party.
Gizmo and Gadget wanted to be there, but the party was going to run past their bedtime, and they wouldn’t have been able to sleep with all the noise.
This picture is of Gadget last night chewing a rawhide on my bed.

. They work great!
are great for cleaning up messes, and are reusable.
I was reading over on LJCFYI that there are certain pugs out there who love to raid gardens for tomatoes.
That’s just hilarious to me. If gadget were in that position, he’d SO attack the vine it wouldn’t be funny. Now, to veggies. Both Gizmo and Gadget absolutely ADORE broccoli — I actually think that it’s one of their favorite foods (possibly behind chicken).
However, tonight, I was cutting up some red bell pepper, and I gave gizmo a bite. Now, if gizmo will readily eat something, gadget will gobble it up with no problems — and that’s exactly what happened. They’ve found a new treat in bell peppers!
Also, in the picture, it’s gizmo in bed under some pillows. He normally doesn’t go under any pillows or under the covers. Both G&G have been “above the covers” pugs forever — I guess they just learned to like it there, and never really got used to being all the way under a blanket.
Actually, even more than that, they like to sleep above the covers, on top of a pillow that’s by your head. Sleeping on top of your head entirely is ok too, if they can get comfortable that way. However, sometimes, gadget likes to go to the foot of the bed ( we think to ‘cool off’)

Gizmo and I have been listening to a lot of Ace of Base today. His favorite is “The Sign” but I like their version of Cruel Summer.
Gadget rolled his eyes when I pulled up the music, because he’s not as much into it, as he much prefers to spend his time watching the food network.
Here’s another picture of Gizmo and Gadget in their office.

Gizmo loves to sit in my lap at the table when I do work there.
Also, for some reason, G&G ‘accept’ not being in our laps if we pull up a chair next to our own chair, and let them sit in it. It’s like it’s okay for me to ignore them temporarily, but only if they get some kind of special treatment, like being able to sit right next to me.
I’ll have to post some pics of Gadget sitting next to me in the chair.

This is Gizmo and Gadget in what we call, “Their Office”
Since i’ve been putting them in the hall during the day, they’re starting to get into the hang of things. Now, Gizmo (And sometimes Gadget) just know to go here in the mornings when I’m getting ready for work.
They know that they’re going to go there anyway, so they might as well just get settled in.

I didn’t realize just how wide Gadget is until I took this picture and saw. He’s a monster of a pug!
Also, I just saw Odie the Talking Pug. OMG! He can say, “I love you”
A pug that can talk! wow!
Here’s the link: Odie the Talking Pug

The pugs sure don’t know what to make of the roomba yet. For the first 10 minutes of operation, they both sat on the chairs they were sitting on and watched it go back and forth, back and forth. It was really funny!
Anyway, in this picture, you can almost see the look of ‘terror’ in Gadget’s eyes as the roomba approaches him. They’re OK with the roomba for a while, but when it starts to invade their space, they jump up and run to a place that the roomba can’t reach.

This is a quick snap of Gizmo while Tricia and I were watching Six Feet Under.
The boys hadn’t had a bath in *TOO* long, So i took them over to my parents’ house to wash them off. Even though they’re URBAN pugs, sometimes it’s easier to become suburban pugs for a day to get a bath a little bit easier.
Anyway, after that, we went through the usual bathtime, “i’ve been washed now i shed everywhere” routine, and i’m just now getting all the loose hair totally brushed out of them.
Does anyone have any *good* ways to reduce the amount of hair that pugs lose naturally? The only thing that’s ever worked for me is to just brush *LOTS* of it out in one big session, usually after a bath. That usually pulls off enough hair that they don’t shed for a while.
Any products? solutions? Thanks!

Wow, this is actually pretty impressive, a bulldog who can ride a skateboard.
See the amazing skateboarding bulldog!

To answer the question on everyone’s mind, Gizmo likes euro-pop techno and 80’s music. Right here, he’s listening to some Duran Duran.
Gizmo really does have a wide variety of taste in music, but he mostly likes happy music that puts him in a good mood.
Gadget likes Jazz Fusion, Classical, and Old School Hip-Hop.
